What do you feel they aren't getting about you? I would say I'm fairly different from people in my workplace because most of them are very outgoing and social, whereas I'm quite introverted and really protective of my personal time. I've never really found that to be an issue though. I'm more than happy for things to just be professional.
I feel like I'm not really like a lot of my coworkers, but that doesn't bother me. When they talk about their interests outside of work I don't really find a lot of it interesting. But that's fine, it takes all kinds. And as long as we work well together and get along in the workplace I couldn't really care what they're doing in their personal lives.
Yes, but part of it is an age gap. I’m the youngest on our team by 5 years, the next youngest is a male lives in a huge mansion (wife comes from big money) who holds views that are entirely against everything that I believe in. I believe the next youngest is 12 years older than me and it ranges to around 27 years older than me.
I talk to people at work, but there is no one who I would really hang out with and form a deep friendship with outside of work. No one really. They are nice people for the most part, but I always find more enjoyment at work when I have at least one friend there.

I’ve definitely felt that way before and it can be so isolating when you don’t feel understood at work. It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. I think sometimes it’s just not the right fit, or it takes longer to find people you connect with. Do you feel like it’s more about the culture there, or just the specific team you’re on?
